8 sections, as written by the authorPlatform Design Critique Dimensions
Dimension 1: CI/CD Pipeline Completeness
Questions: All stages defined (commit, acceptance, capacity, production)? Quality gates explicit with pass/fail criteria? Parallelization used? Failure recovery/retry documented? Commit stage < 10 min, acceptance < 30 min?
Blocker: Missing critical stage (no acceptance tests) | no quality gates | no security scanning.
Critical: Pipeline > 30 min without parallelization | no failure notification | missing artifact versioning.
High: No caching strategy | incomplete environment parity | missing matrix testing.
Medium: Inconsistent naming | missing documentation for manual steps.
Dimension 2: Infrastructure as Code Quality
Questions: Infrastructure fully codified? Modules reusable and parameterized? State management secure (encrypted, locked)? Security best practices (least privilege, encryption)? Idempotent and reproducible?
Blocker: Secrets in version control | no state management | production credentials in code.
Critical: No encryption at rest | overly permissive IAM | missing network security.
High: Hardcoded values | missing resource tagging | no cost estimation.
Medium: Inconsistent module structure | missing input variable validation.
Dimension 3: Deployment Strategy Risk
Questions: Strategy appropriate for risk profile? Rollback documented? Health checks and readiness probes defined? Gradual traffic shifting with automatic rollback? Database migrations backward compatible?
Blocker: No rollback strategy | no health checks | breaking changes without safeguards.
Critical: Single-shot deployment for critical services | no canary/blue-green for high-traffic | missing pod disruption budgets.
High: Rollback not tested | no gradual traffic shifting | no pre-deployment validation.
Medium: Incomplete manual step documentation | no feature flags for risky features.
Dimension 4: Observability and SLO Alignment
Questions: SLOs defined with specific targets? All four golden signals monitored? Distributed tracing configured? Alerts SLO burn-rate based? Dashboards for investigation?
Blocker: No SLOs defined | no error rate monitoring | no alerting strategy.
Critical: No latency monitoring (p50/p90/p99) | symptom-based alerts | no log-metric-trace correlation.
High: Incomplete metric coverage | alert thresholds misaligned with SLOs | no runbook links.
Medium: Unclear dashboard organization | missing error budget tracking.
Dimension 5: Pipeline and Infrastructure Security
Questions: SAST in commit stage? DAST before production? SCA configured? Secrets management using external vault? SBOM generated and signed?
Blocker: No security scanning | secrets in env vars or code | no container image scanning.
Critical: Missing SAST in CI | no dependency vulnerability scanning | missing K8s network policies.
High: No DAST before production | no SBOM generation | no image signing.
Medium: Security scan results not blocking deployment | no license compliance.
Dimension 6: DORA Metrics Enablement
Questions: Design enables multiple deployments/day? Lead time < 1 hour achievable? Change failure rate tracking in place? Time to restore measurable with SLOs?
Critical: Manual steps preventing daily deployments | no automated testing for fast feedback | no deployment failure tracking.
High: Pipeline > 1 hour for full deployment | no post-deployment validation | missing deployment frequency metrics.
Dimension 7: Priority and Constraint Validation
Questions: Design addresses largest bottleneck first? Simpler alternatives documented and rejected with evidence? Constraint prioritization correct? Complexity justified?
Critical: Design addresses secondary concern while larger exists | no measurement data | simple alternatives not documented.
High: Constraint prioritization not explicit | over-engineered for stated requirements.

Assess Kubernetes workloads and cluster configuration for AKS Automatic compatibility. Identifies incompatibilities, generates fixes, and guides migration from AKS Standard to AKS Automatic. WHEN: migrate to AKS Automatic, check AKS Automatic readiness, validate manifests for Automatic, assess cluster for Automatic compatibility, fix deployment for Automatic compatibility, identify AKS Automatic migration blockers, is my cluster ready for AKS Automatic.
Discovers available Azure OpenAI model capacity across regions and projects. Analyzes quota limits, compares availability, and recommends optimal deployment locations based on capacity requirements. USE FOR: find capacity, check quota, where can I deploy, capacity discovery, best region for capacity, multi-project capacity search, quota analysis, model availability, region comparison, check TPM availability. DO NOT USE FOR: actual deployment (hand off to preset or customize after discovery), quota increase requests (direct user to Azure Portal), listing existing deployments.
Interactive guided deployment flow for Azure OpenAI models with full customization control. Step-by-step selection of model version, SKU (GlobalStandard/Standard/ProvisionedManaged), capacity, RAI policy (content filter), and advanced options (dynamic quota, priority processing, spillover). USE FOR: custom deployment, customize model deployment, choose version, select SKU, set capacity, configure content filter, RAI policy, deployment options, detailed deployment, advanced deployment, PTU deployment, provisioned throughput. DO NOT USE FOR: quick deployment to optimal region (use preset).
Unified Azure OpenAI model deployment skill with intelligent intent-based routing. Handles quick preset deployments, fully customized deployments (version/SKU/capacity/RAI policy), and capacity discovery across regions and projects. USE FOR: deploy model, deploy gpt, create deployment, model deployment, deploy openai model, set up model, provision model, find capacity, check model availability, where can I deploy, best region for model, capacity analysis. DO NOT USE FOR: listing existing deployments (use foundry_models_deployments_list MCP tool), deleting deployments, agent creation (use agent/create), project creation (use project/create).
Intelligently deploys Azure OpenAI models to optimal regions by analyzing capacity across all available regions. Automatically checks current region first and shows alternatives if needed. USE FOR: quick deployment, optimal region, best region, automatic region selection, fast setup, multi-region capacity check, high availability deployment, deploy to best location. DO NOT USE FOR: custom SKU selection (use customize), specific version selection (use customize), custom capacity configuration (use customize), PTU deployments (use customize).
This skill should be used when working with LaminDB, an open-source data framework for biology that makes data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR. Use when managing biological datasets (scRNA-seq, spatial, flow cytometry, etc.), tracking computational workflows, curating and validating data with biological ontologies, building data lakehouses, or ensuring data lineage and reproducibility in biological research. Covers data management, annotation, ontologies (genes, cell types, diseases, tissues), schema validation, integrations with workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake) and MLOps platforms (W&B, MLflow), and deployment strategies.
Latch platform for bioinformatics workflows. Build pipelines with Latch SDK, @workflow/@task decorators, deploy serverless workflows, LatchFile/LatchDir, Nextflow/Snakemake integration.
Run Python code in the cloud with serverless containers, GPUs, and autoscaling. Use when deploying ML models, running batch processing jobs, scheduling compute-intensive tasks, or serving APIs that require GPU acceleration or dynamic scaling.
